Title: Method for detecting leaks in underground product lines
Inventor: HUTCHINSON RAY J
IPC: G01M3/26
Filed: 1993-12-07
Granted: 1997-11-13
Abstract: An improved method for detecting small leaks in underground pressurized piping systems is disclosed. In particular, the method comprises the steps of taking pressure measurements over identical time intervals from a product line at a pressure above the pump discharge pressure while the product pump is running. Thereafter, the absolute value of the difference between successive pressure decays is calculated and compared to an acceptable value. Next, the value of the latest pressure decay value is compared to acceptable and unacceptable values reflecting acceptable and unacceptable tightness of the product line.

Title: Dectector for detecting air components
Inventor: HEIJENGA BEREND
IPC: G01N31/22
Filed: 1981-02-24
Granted: 1985-09-05
Abstract: The invention provides a detector for detecting air components, e.g. contaminations, and in particular noxious or poisonous contaminations, which device comprises a housing in which an air pervious carrier containing a first reagent is arranged, this detector being adapted to draw air to be tested through said carrier so as to expose this reagent to the air, this reagent being influenced by the components to be detected, which carrier is to be contacted with a second reagent which, together with the first one, can bring about a colour reaction depending on the fact whether the first reagent has been influenced or not. The housing forms, in the operative condition, an integral unit, an air- and liquid-tight container with a rupturable wall and containing a not contaminated liquid contributing to said colour reaction being arranged within said housing, the latter being, furthermore, provided with a yieldable wall portion and a plurality of piercing pins arranged in such a mutual spatial relationship that the container can be pierced by pressing inwards said wall portion, so as to moisten said reagent carrier with the liquid from said container. In particular the second reagent can be contained in a similar second carrier which is normally separated from the first one but is contacted therewith when pressing inwards said wall portion.

Title: Parallelogram lift axle suspension system with a control for axle caster adjustment
Inventor: GOTTSCHALK MICHAEL J
IPC: B62D17/00
Filed: 1994-08-01
Granted: 1996-05-16
Abstract: The system includes a bi-directional airlift spring having opposite end plates at either end located between two parallel control arms where expansion of the air spring pivots the upper and lower control arms w.r.t. a frame bracket thereby lifting an axle and wheels attached to it from engagement with the road surface. The end plates of the bi-directional air spring move about equally in opposite directions and remain parallel to one another throughout expansion and contraction of the air spring so as to about equally distribute forces of expansion of the air spring between the upper and lower control arms. The system also includes a shock absorber having one end attached to the upper control arm and another end attached to the lower control arm so as to locate the shock absorber forward of the axle thereby minimising shock travel and maximising shock life. The upper control arm is pivotally connected to an axle seat by a bolt including an eccentric cam mechanism which allows one to adjust the caster angle of the axle when the need arises.
